I have over the last couple of months had problems posting a new message or a reply. Most of the time I either get a page not found or after hitting the create button, go to the page with the forums descriptions. I hit back and try again. Most of the time after the third or fourth time I finally get the message posted. Sometimes, about a 30% of the time, I never get the message posted. Is it my machine, internet connection or is it a site problem? thanks butch

Just did it again trying to post this one. I keep going to the forum description page. try try again. But this can be a little fustrating.

Well, since no one else (that I can see) is complaining of the same thing, and from what it sounds like, I'd blame it on your browser (be it IE or NN). Depending on which you're using I'd suggest getting updates. If you're using Navigator, I think 4.73 (or something along those lines, 4.76 maybe?) is the latest. Navigator 6 is an insult to Mozilla and I suggest staying away from it (though feel free to try it; don't let me discourage you). If you're using Explorer, updating to IE5.01 if you haven't already is a good idea. IE5.01 is good, IE5.5 is bad. Stay away from 5.5, but again, feel free if ya want to. If neither of those do it, you may be having other problems, or your ISP may just have problems too, though it's usually on the client's end (speaking from experience, not out of my ass). Hope that helps you. :) Oh, and clearing the cache of everything every so often doesn't hurt either. ;)

I had the same problem a while back, asked the admids to clear me and now I can post again. It was really frustrating for a while there! 8^) And I haven't changed my browser or done anything different, can only suggest you ask about it in complaint and debate. Clearing the cache is good, I keep mine clear as well. Marque
